"I'd like to thank the folks at

Los Angeles, CA - "Shock the world!"
said an exuberant Kobe Bryant to a room full of non-English
speaking international press moments after televised coverage of his sexual
assault trial eked by "The Sopranos," "West
Wing" and "The New Senile Columbo Starring Peter Falk"
to win this year's Emmy for Best Dramatic Series. "Sex, guilt, money,
spa treatments, a black guy, horrific lawyers, crooked cops, plenty of
cleavage, no co-hosts -- it had it all," said Hollywood insider Pat
O'Brien, "I nearly picked him to upset the field. In fact
I did pick him, but my bosses made me edit it out of my pre-show 'Insider'
Emmy Picks telecast because they felt it was too controversial, that my
information was too shockingly 'inside.' I showed them!" The upset
win was Bryant's second Emmy, having snagged a Best Supporting Actor In
A Sports Drama in 2001 for his work as "Aloof Playmaker" in
the NBA Playoffs and Finals. "Where's the beef?!
- In Kobe's show!" said NBC critic Gene
Shalit, "it featured action so real I thought it actually
happened in a courtroom in Colorado! This is so shockingly delicious I'll
bet Pat O'Brien claims he was going to predict it!" Kobe accepted
the statuette alone, as his lawyers were hard at work springing another
known felon and could not attend, while the girl who accused Kobe of rape
curiously stuck to her desire to respect her own privacy despite being
offered roundtrip coach fair and an Emmy gift basket. The Emmy is the
third or perhaps even the second highest honor a show can win right behind
the People's Choice Awards and a Betty Crocker Bakeoff
Golden Spatchela. Bryant announced the expansion of his production company,
"Tradeshaq Productions," and will immediately begin working
on a sequel to the first trial in which he will be forced at gunpoint
by ski-masked thugs to hand over his $500,000 luxury Maserati import car
and then make love against his will to a huge-breasted Auto Show hood
model.
